Sixers: Grading fan-created Ben Simmons trades
By Dante Furco
It is becoming more and more likely that Ben Simmons never wears a Sixers jersey again after multiple reports have surfaced that he indeed wants out and that he will not report to training camp if he is not traded by the start of the season.
Though a lot of the talk is speculation, Sixers fans are beginning to picture a future without their three time all star.

Grading fan-created Ben Simmons trades: #1
Sent in by: Philip Dallmann (@pdallmann24)
Sixers Grade: B
Cavaliers Grade: C+
Overall Grade: B-
The Cavaliers are already known for being one of the big man heavy teams in the NBA and trading for Simmons without giving up a big man, adds to the confusion of this team.
It would be surprising if the Cavs were to give up both Garland and Okoro in a deal given how high the front office has praised the two this offseason. It would be more likely they would deal Collin Sexton in any deal for Simmons.
How to fix this deal
Sixers Receive: Colin Sexton, Kevin Love Dylan Windler and 1 First Round Pick
Cavaliers Receive: Ben Simmons, Shake Milton and 1 Second Round Pick
